CAVA with Symantec

Question

I have just recently gotten out CAVA servers to function enough to actually scan files like they are supposed to, but when I run CAVAMon (either exe or the vbs from the command prompt) I never get any information back. See examples below. Has anyone else seen this before, or does anyone have an idea what may be causing this? CAVA SERVER 1 gets this: AV Engine State: null AV Engine Type: null Files Scanned: 0 Health: null Msec Per Scan: 0.00 Saturation %: 0.00 Scans Per Second: 0 CAVA State: null CAVA Version: null CAVA SERVER 2 gets this: AV Engine State: N/A AV Engine Type: Unknown Files Scanned: 0 Health: Unknown Msec Per Scan: 0.00 Saturation %: 0.00 Scans Per Second: 0 CAVA State: N/A CAVA Version: Unknown

Not sure about the cavamon.exe, but an easy way to watch cava is to ssh to the control station and run:server_viruschk server_x -aWhat are you trying to monitor?

1. For the system that will run cavascan.exe/vbs and run as a AV Server you must exclude the 3rd party virus scanner from scanning the C:\Windows\system32\wmi directory

2. For all servers that will be scanned by cavamon.exe or cavamon.vbs you need to enable it in the servers registry. Run regedt32 and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EMC\CAVA\Sizing
Change Sizing from 0 to 1

Restart CAVA Service

Create a cavamon.dat file with a text editor in the same directory as cavamon.exe. Add each AV Server¿s host name or IP per line in the file. These will be connected to via cavamon.exe

Run cavamon.exe

Click button ¿Get Status¿
